Numbers/letters to make them clear, names to give them some personality, or some mix? Right now I'm working on a naming convention that makes sense, although with some variability so they seem more organic.

I usually generate up a list of 150-200 names for planetary systems based on the 'theme' of the empire I'm playing. Systems without planets, like Blue/Red Giants and Starless Nexi, get BG-/RG-/SN- then a number in the order I've found 'em.

I apologize to all the players for the time it took to process last turn, between weekend activities, traveling and research I always found a reason to push off processing all these first contacts...Everyone seems now be running into someone wherever they poke their nose in.

Oh but the real question is how many of the First Contacts you helped turn into wars...er... I meant Trade Agreements?
